We have seen many people wearing different kinds of Gems and Crystals with different shapes and colors. Many of us wear it as a passion or likeness towards these crystals or gems and some believe in having success for being fixed to their body.

Many of us are not aware that some kinds of crystals and gems are used to heal diseases and are also used in therapies. These are called “HEALING CRYSTALS”.

These crystals are used for positive changes in the body, mind and makes a person energized with the positiveness in their minds. Not only getting positiveness, but also heals a number of diseases and helps in getting a person stay away from all the bad habits he/she has. There are also crystals that turn many things into bad or good. These are called “MAGIC CRYSTALS”. There are also many developed games on these magic crystals. You find different colors and shapes of these crystals. Every color of a crystal has a different meaning and power. For example color “Red” indicates “Energy”, “Blue” indicates “Calming”, “Black” indicates “Protection”, “Green” indicates “Balance”, “Pink” indicates “Self-Love”, “Yellow” indicates “Inner Wisdom”.  Read more...

Crystal are use to keep the frequency of the clock from drifting. If the signal from this clock stops, or is weak, or the pulses begin to vary, the electronic equipments might show intermittent faults or might stop altogether. The microprocessor pins that hold the crystal are usually called OSC IN and OSC OUT as shown in Figure 1 and the frequency is marked on the crystal. Typical examples of crystal oscillator frequency are 3.58MHZ, 4MHZ, 8MHZ, 24MHZ etc.Testing Crystal Crystals are quite fragile components because of their construction.

Unlike a resistor or capacitor, if you drop one on the ground from a decent height, its 50-50 bet whether it will work again. Testing the crystal is not a breeze either. You cannot just take out your trusty multimeter and plug the crystal in it. In fact, there are three right ways to test a crystal: -

(a) Using Oscilloscope A crystal produces a sine wave when excited. It is appropriate then, to see a waveform representative of a sine wave on the clock pins. If the clock is not functioning properly, replace the crystal. In most cases this should solve the problem since microprocessors are usually very reliable. Check the crystal with power on.  Read more... (377 words, 1 image, estimated 1:30 mins reading time)

Crystals embody pure light energy because they absorb and reflect light rays. As white light passes through a gem, certain wavelengths may be filtered out, therefore, those that survive the passage give the stone its color. The gem embodies the power of the colored ray it reflects. When light passes through a gem or crystal without interference, it is said to be transparent. If a particular wavelength of color is absorbed, the remaining rays will pass through the stone and give it a certain color. If only some colors pass through the gem, it is said to be translucent or opaque. So translucent means allowing a passage of light although not a clear one.

Lastly, for crystals and light, we have opaque stones, which are impervious to light. These stones will absorb all the colors of the spectrum, except for one color wavelength. This color will be reflected back, giving the stone its color.  Therefore, if all wavelengths are absorbed except green, the stone will appear green. If all the light is absorbed, the stone will appear black.  Read more... (250 words, 1 image, estimated 1:00 mins reading time)

Crystals are here to teach and serve us, but their crystal energy lies dormant until we awaken their elemental consciousness with unconditional love. The mineral, plant and most of the animal kingdom are bound by group consciousness. The elementals need to be directed, therefore, a crystal or gemstone needs to be programmed to serve by holding a crystal in the left hand sending it love and energy. This wakes up the elemental in the crystal. Hold it over the heart center, saying, I love you. Give it caring love (not emotional love), and a relationship with the crystal.

It is only in some higher animals and man that we assert individual consciousness. This individual consciousness is brought about by our ego which binds us to this three dimensional world. The ego brings with it a separation from our intuition and higher self, which is spiritual in origin. We are very seldom aware of our true inner self, which links us to all other life forms. Most of our problems are caused by this disconnection. We disregard the intuitive self as being illogical and unimportant for our daily routines and activities. So we suppress the expressions of our higher self, and over-ride them with our thoughts of logic and reasoning.  Read more... (285 words, 1 image, estimated 1:08 mins reading time)

Crystals are pure solarized sunlight, which take millions of years to form. Each has its own resonance, or vibration. Man has already possessed the knowledge for the use of crystals and light to heal. The ancient Atlantians were a great civilization that used color and crystals for healing. Not only were crystals used for healing but also for teaching and interstellar communication. Unfortunately, due to misuse of their powers, this knowledge was lost.

Man has over the centuries used gemstones to attract the solar rays and indeed modern communication systems and computer technology make use of the crystal in the form of the silicon chip.

Today, we are learning to use crystals (precious or semi-precious stones) as a preventative and curative form of treatment, which generate healing vibrations, which act on the body’s energy field. Crystals can be used to channel healing energies through the healer to patient or be placed on specific parts of the body that eed treatment.

Minerals are an economic commodity; they are mined because of the need for a valuable element they contain or an intrinsic property they may have. Other minerals are mined for their beauty and rareness, thus giving many specimens an accepted worldwide value. There are about 3,000 different types of minerals, and new ones are constantly discovered. Most of them are not known to professional mineral collectors, because they are rare, have no economic purpose, and for the most part do not make good specimens.

If you suffer from a serious medical condition your physician might have advised you to think about investing in medical alert jewelry. For most of us when we hear that we immediately picture a silver link bracelet with a metal strip and nothing about that is attractive.

Crystals are classified as minerals, but not all minerals are crystals. Crystals are only those whose atomic structure are regular and form a crystalline pattern. Minerals are inorganic in nature, although we do include organic material such as amber, coral and pearl as part of the mineral kingdom. The mineral crystal families we will be dealing with are, macro crystalline quartz, microcrystalline quartz or chalcedony, agates, feldspar, corundum and beryl.

When we use the term crystal, we are really referring to clear quartz crystal. It has a balanced structure and piezoelectric properties, making it the perfect stone for healing.  Generally the best crystals to be used for the expansion of awareness are natural unpolished colorless quartz.

Without quart, we would not have computers, electronic office equipment, and many other electronic devices. Crystals can be described as living computers. They absorb, store and send out energy.

A mineral, by definition, is any naturally occurring, inorganic substance often additionally characterized by an exact crystal structure. Its chemical structure can be exact, or can vary  within limits. Elements that occur naturally are also considered minerals.
